What's the best open source GUI to compress videos on linux?

federino@programming.dev to Open Source@lemmy.ml – 30 points –

I'd like to compress my videos without using the terminal, what is the best GUI today that can do this?

Is this kind of program popular on linux? I know that ffmpeg is very popular on the terminal

Why? I have done ~100 files in one batch with no issue?

It's easier to type a command than it is to add files to Handbrake one at a time. I can also run multiple encodes simultaneously. It takes 2-4 to max out my CPU depending on the codec and resolution.

Why one at a time? Just load a folder and apply the same settings to all of them. If the settings are different per file.. not sure which method would be less annoying.
